Over the years, we’ve learned that most EBT users aren’t aware of all of the incredible perks and benefits that are available to them. That’s why we’ve assembled these incredible lists of EBT freebies for people in every state!

• You can buy more than just groceries. You can use your Colorado EBT card to buy seeds, plants, and even gift baskets with your SNAP food benefits. You don’t have to take our word for it – we got the details right from the USDA!
• You can double your benefits when you shop at certain places. If you use your benefits at certain farmers markets or grocery stores, you can take advantage of dollar-matching programs that will double your benefits. Here’s where to shop.
• You can get cash back with your SNAP card. The trick is to use rewarded shopping apps like Ibotta or Fetch Rewards. When you make a purchase with EBT, you can submit your receipt and get cash back on those purchases. This means you can spend all of your food benefits and get a little extra for non-food essentials, too. In fact, one of our readers earned an additional $437.84 in cash just by shopping with her food stamps card!

Local Colorado EBT Discounts

It’s true! We’ve found some incredible EBT discounts in Colorado. By far, the best are our low cost and free EBT discounts on activity and event admissions!

Pay attention to the museum policies. Museums with green titles accept EBT cards from any state. Museums with black titles require you to have a card issued in the state of Colorado. That’s because there are many different EBT discount programs, like Museums for All and the Explorer Pass, and they all have different policies. We’ve done our best to make it easy to understand and use these discounts, though.

Bring cash or a debit card, too. Unless admission is free, you’ll need another payment method as well. You need to show your EBT card to get the discount but you’ll have to pay any remaining cost with cash or a debit card.

This list is alphabetical for your convenience.
